UA-camrs love to tell you what big tools you need to make everyday items. I tried for myself, and learned a bunch.

Hi, I'm Pete. Northern Works is all about DIY furniture and home improvement projects that help us to consume less, and create more. I've got an ever-growing list of projects, and I'm excited to learn how to build things that I want to use, and that we'd love to see around our home.
If you value great design, but want to consume less of the fast furniture, then I'd love for you to join our community here on UA-cam where we can learn together and share ideas.

Love your channel.
Also Love how down to earth and relatable you are doing projects without spending crap-loads of money on specialty tools -
I custom build cabinets, wood counter tops, floating shelves & desk tops (up to 8 feet long) as well as custom coffee tables and end tables & picture frames along with many other custom wood working projects ( as well as custom stain & lacquer finishing) for a living, I do all my work with basic power hand tools and regular hand tools. I cant tell you how many times I've had "Pro cabinet shops" tell me there's no way i did the work I do without all the fancy costly table saws, router tables etc. I have not once had a customer complain about my work (and yes, I do make custom cabinets that match exactly the builder installed cabinets - though out of plywood & solid dimensional lumber, not the crappy particle board and stickers you get from the builders)
I have the same router table in my workshop in Tadcaster 😀.
Your work bench...shop bought or home build??. I like the reversible middle as a stop block
Home built! I even made a couple of videos about it 😉
Wicked job Pete looks great m8. Ps 2 thing's first i was terrified for ya when a saw you setting up to cut the splines with router. Second i can hopefully help fix your saw problem 😀🏴👍
Great work mate
If you are going for a table saw take a look at the new Evolution 255 was about to buy the rage 5 and this came out brilliant tool
Hi Pete. Enjoying your videos. One question: what finish did you wipe on these frames?
That’s great, I have those tools and always watch too many videos, scaring myself into submission that I can’t do it 🎉
Can I recommend a Nobex mitre saw.....thay are not cheap for a hand tool but they cut precise mitres.......makes life very easy for these jobs and in most cases you dont need to use a shooting block.....nice job
I feel for you with the circular saw scar on your workbench. I have a scarred Black and Decker Workmate top caused by my electric planer and a diagonal cut in one side where a circular saw went off-line. All part of the learning experience!
Great build. I think if you can get smaller jobs done well, then the sky is the limit. As and when (and if) you get a table saw, will you review your choice? I've been very happy with my Evolution, but I'm always interested to see what other people are using. Keep up the excellent work 👏🏼
Thanks Iain. If and when it happens, I’m happy to share my thoughts!
Have you tried sawing with a gent saw? (Which is dirt cheap compared to the other dovetail saws with cool handles.)
Feel like sawing by hand would be equally fast & less stressfull. At least I rather enjoy it and stabbing out the waste with a small chisel is a bonus.
Thanks for the tip - I just got myself a wee saw for dovetails and other small joinery.
@@northernworks Can't wait for the next one. Love the renovation & woodworking projects you've done.
Cheers man! ^^
👍👍👍. Thank you
You could probably do the cut on the router in two passes. Honestly a small second hand table saw isn't that expensive though
Length of your circular saw guide?
Good to see the Evo stick wood glue, none of this American Titebond malarkey! 🙂 Could you not have used your router to cut the half laps more easily?
I’ve not tried any other glue, to be honest - it’s just easy to get hold of, innit.
I discovered during this build that there are probably a hundred different ways to make frames. It’s cool, because they’re such a low stakes way to practice different joinery techniques
Nice frames, but I really wish you had some table saw.
Actually, I wish I had some table saw either...
Nicely done though a couple of things to think about. Using a router with your fingers so close to the bit is not the best idea in the world. Also don't cut too much with a bit at once, you can always run it through again with the bit a bit higher. As for cutting the splines a hand saw would do it easily. You don't always need to jump to using power tools.
Don't know if it matters for a frame this size, but the grain direction of the splines should follow along the hypotenuse. It's much stronger there
Ideally you want the grain direction running the length of your splines, so that the spline grain is perpendicular to the mitre of the frame.
👍
Nice work, but you should be using a respirator mask when cutting mdf
Mate, decant your evostick glue into a mayo/ketchup bottle from ALDI (or similar). Thank me later.
Why are you all trying to go viral with these lame "you're all doing it wrong" videos? It's too desperate
Appears to have more invested in video equipment than shop tools. Nice work though.
